“Give me a shot, give me a damn shot! Give me a swing, give me a damn swing!”

The most exciting golfer repeated this mantra almost all the way to his golf ball, which he found lying on a branch and buried in the trees. This was not caught on camera.

This week at Oak Hill. After spotting the cut at five-over-par, Spieth was on the court early on a rainy Saturday morning in Rochester, NY

His first drive of the day somehow found its way into the on-course toilet, his ball surrounded by portable potties while the golf gods unleashed a few laughs. After conceding a drop, he hit a shot towards the first green which hit a tree and fell straight down. “Holy shit, Jordan,” he yelled.

After bogeying this hole off the porta-potties and making his second birdie, Spieth came up short on a faulty tee shot and left the hole on the third par 3 hole. As the ball was airborne and headed for a bunker on the green, Spieth was picked up by another microphone on the course and said, “Damn! Hit a good, damn iron shot!”

Hell, some people never learn.
